On the Year Action Plan of 2016, we aimed for expanding

to the preparation phase of the projects. The Galloper project
has put this into practice and focused on the environmental
aspects which can be tackled during the design phase. A major

16Spill response campaign
In 2016 a Spill Prevention and Response campaign was
launched on all GeoSea vessels and projects. The goal of this
campaign was to provide everyone with a refresher on the
correct spill response process. The focus should always be on
preventing spills, but if a spill should occur, a correct response
will minimize the potential impact to the environment. This
process is known as the ‘3x C’s’.

17QHSE performance
HSE management team dashboard
During the Management Review meeting it was decided to
use an extensive list of KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) to
monitor and if necessary adjust GeoSea activities. KPI’s are
placed at all levels of our organization.
Some of these KPI’s are published quarterly in the QHSE
Management Team Dashboard. The dashboard displayed here
shows the overview of 2016. In the graphs that follow, some of
these KPI’s are published and discussed in more detail.
TRIFR
The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate is an indicator that takes into account all Medical Treatments, Restricted Work Cases, Lost
Time Incidents and Fatalities. It’s a useful tool to evaluate our safety performance. Over the past 5 years we’ve been able to lower our
TRIFR to 6.36 in 2015. In 2016 we saw a slight increase to 6.50.

Improvement idea by Innovation Crew member Jeroen Martin: He reported
that the black anti-slip profiles of the gangway were not sufficiently visible
during the night shift when accessing the TP, creating a trip hazard. The black
steps were painted yellow for higher visibility.

Minimal 1 inspection per operational staff member / month (green)
Minimal 1 inspection for every Master and every Chief Engineer / week (blue)
Every project has the responsibility to control and inspect
their work and workforce. This should be demonstrable and
necessary actions should be taken in case of deficiency.
Therefore GeoSea highlights the importance of inspections

Incident statistics differentiate between severe and minor environmental
incidents. Severe environmental incidents are those which involve restitution
costs (consequence > 3 in GeoSea’s Risk Matrix). No major environmental
accidents were recorded in 2016, however 5 minor environmental incidents
occurred. There were e.g. minor oil spills on the deck of a vessel.

23Focus on High Potential Incidents
In 2016 we had almost the same number of incidents as in HIPO Incident Analysis 2016
2015 (124 instead of 125), but the number of HIPO’s went
down from 42 to 33. This is a trend we definitely want to Review with all process owners:
continue in the next years! • In 33 HIPO’s, 15 Crew Transport Vessels were involved!
• In 33 HIPO’s, 10 dropped objects occured!
Lifting Operations, Working at Height and Maritime
Operations remain our most important activities, but they are
at the same time our strongest points to convince our clients
that the safety level within GeoSea is very high.
Nevertheless, we cannot lose sight of our other, possibly
combined, operations. The analysis of the incidents in 2016
showed that in 15 of the 33 HIPO’s Crew Transport Vessels
were involved.
